Meds

At what point did you realize that you needed meds? I have been diagnosed for probably 8ish years, maybe less. At first I was given wellbutrin it helped at first but then it didn't. I had to get cleared by cardiology before I can take anything else. After that I had imposter syndrome for years. I really thought I was just making it all up. I had kiddos and then realized real quick that I actually had adhd. I'm at the point where I think I need meds. I even had my sister notice that I'm at the point of needing medication for my own safety. I was in a fender bender that I wasn't at fault for. It made her worry since I have small children (1 and 3). She worries that I will lose attention and something happens. Note my children are not in danger nor have they ever been in. I just really do think I do need meds. Sometimes I just get so overwhelmed.

I needed to specifically for the ADHD symptoms when it impacted my performance at work. I was already on meds for depression though.

It's nice to see I wasn't the only one who has the same experience with Wellbutrin. I've actually hallucinated while taking them and had the dose affect my vision. Luckily, I have an appointment set up with the family doctor next week and it can't come soon enough. I feel like, when you take the correct medicine for your body/mind/you.. everything seems to get better, baby steps sure! But yanno, baby steps are far better than reverting backwards and awakening that part of yourself. Is there a reason you're currently not taking meds sweetie??

Currently not on meds because there for awhile I had imposter syndrome and then got pregnant back to back. Well atleast it seemed like it. I'm really afraid to go to the doctor and not get believed. I know I will have to get another evaluation. I'm just scared that they will say that I do not have adhd

Yeah finding the right medication is such a journey but makes life a little easier. Don’t ever give up, just because the first med you tried wasn’t right one doesn’t mean the right one isn’t out there for you. You deserve it and it’ll help set a good example for the kiddos.

I’m a chronic user, I think it has Made my symptoms worse. Just started to realize this recently. I have noticed that indicas help me more and sativas and hybrids worsen. There is a huge spectrum of cannabinols finding the right ones is a journey. Even more if you don’t have dispensary.
